All night tram services for New Years Eve

23 December, 2011

Yarra Trams has added an extra 2400 tram services on New Years
Eve to get party-goers to and from the city safely.

The extra services will mean trams running every 5-10 minutes
between 6pm and 2am on almost all routes on the network (except
routes 5, 24/30, 78/79, 82 and City Circle). After 2am, trams will
run every 30 minutes until the first scheduled Sunday services.

As one of Melbourne's biggest events, over 1000 Yarra Trams
staff will work through the night including drivers, maintenance,
fleet controllers and customer service staff.

In addition to increased services on regular routes, additional
shuttle services are being provided:
